Nitrile gloves feel like latex, but are made from a compound that is more tear- and chemical-resistant, more durable and comfortable, and less expensive. Nitrile gloves are a safe and popular alternative to natural latex due to allergy sensitivities.

Because nitrile resists chemical reactions more than latex, it is often a component of chemical-resistant gloves and other hand protection products.

Disposable nitrile exam gloves are used in chemical and biochemical laboratories to offer basic protection against corrosives and surface contamination. Exam gloves are usually available in general sizes and in your choice of thicknesses, lengths, and colors.

Other nitrile gloves are designed for repeated use and the nitrile may be combined with other materials. Nitrile gloves featuring flock or other moisture-absorbing lining materials enhance wearer comfort while keeping hands dry. Gloves with nitrile coating not only provide chemical resistance and enhanced grip, but when teamed with specialty knit materials, they also offer cut resistance.
